Introduction
Thank you for choosing the AdderView CATx 1000 
from Adder Technology. This compact unit has been 
created to allow a single operator to take full control of 
many computer systems. 
Like the other models within the highly successful 
AdderView CATx family, this unit takes full advantage of 
category 5, 5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible 
installation and configuration. Every connected computer 
can be up to 10m (32 feet) from the AdderView CATx 
1000, linked by a standard CATx cable and the ingenious 
CAM (Computer Access Module). 
The AdderView CATx 1000 is available in two sizes, 
directly supporting eight or sixteen computers 
respectively. These numbers can be increased at any 
time thanks to the ability to connect other AdderView 
CATx 1000 units in cascade to provide a much larger 
network of controlled computers. Both models 
provide full enterprise level security to restrict access to 
authorised personnel.  
Optional power switch control allows you to remotely 
perform a hard reset on any host system, no matter 
how badly it has locked up. 
The user console can be either connected directly to the 
Adderview CATx 1000 unit or placed up to 300m (980 
feet) away using either Adder X100 or X200 extenders 
and, once again, standard CATx cabling. In addition to 
providing the usual keyboard, video and mouse signals, 
the AdderView CATx 1000 also provides audio output 
for full feedback where necessary.
Many computers
AdderView CATx 1000 units can directly 
support either 8 or 16 computer systems. 
Multiple AdderView CATx 1000 units can 
also be cascaded to support a maximum of 
256 computers. 
Each system is linked using a Computer 
Access Module (CAM) and category 5, 5e or 
6 cabling to a maximum distance of 10m  
(32 ft) from the AdderView CATx 1000 unit.  
Optional power control
You have the opportunity to 
attach one or more power 
switches. These control the 
supply to the system(s) and 
allow a remote user to hard 
reset any system that has 
suffered a failure. 
Local user
One user can 
be connected 
directly to the 
AdderView CATx 
1000.     
Remote user
A remote user can be linked, 
via an Adder X100 or X200 
extender and category 5, 5e 
or 6 cabling, to a maximum 
distance of 300m (980 ft).
CAM formats
The CAMs are available in 
different formats to support all 
common types of systems, which 
can easily be mixed within a 
multi-format configuration.

Dual users
When both a local and a remote user are connected, 
both consoles will see the same output, however, only 
one will be able to take control at any one time. Control 
is automatically relinquished by the current user two 
seconds after the last input action, whereupon either 
user can gain control. The control status is signified by 
the keyboard indicators at each console.
